About Me

I'm a Game Developer, Character Designer & VFX Artist based in Montreal, QC — with a postgraduate degree in Game & Level Design.

What sets me apart: I've built complete games from scratch entirely solo — from game systems and enemy AI to character design, VFX, and environment. I don't just create assets; I build full experiences.

My work spans solo game development, 3D modeling & asset creation, stylized character design, UE5 Blueprints, Niagara VFX, and cross-team collaboration. I create every asset and character from scratch — from concept to in-engine implementation.

Open to character design, game art, VFX, and developer roles. Fluent in English, professional proficiency in French.
